Fisheries management fee
You can pay the fisheries management fee
- online at Eräluvat.fi,
- using Metsähallitus Eräluvat app on your mobile phone,
- by calling the service number, or
- by visiting a R-kioski.
Please make sure to have the receipt of your paid fisheries management fee and your eventual other licenses at hand when you’re fishing. If your right to fish free of charge is dependent on your age, you must be able to produce for example an ID card showing your date of birth.
Permission of the water owner
The municipality of Sipoo does not sell fishing permits to municipal water areas, as they are very limited.
In order to find out who owns a specific water area, you need the property identifier for the area. Information of the owner can then be acquired from the National Land Survey of Finland, or NLS (Maanmittauslaitos, MML) using the property identifier.
To whom and on what terms
Fishing supervision
Fisheries protection officers supervise that fishing is carried out according to applicable orders and regulations. Supervision is applied to minimum catch sizes, protection periods and areas, as well as the construction or use of certain fishing equipment. The protection officer will also control that all fishers have paid the fisheries management fee and eventual other fees, when these are necessary. In addition to actual fisheries protection officers, also officers of the police, the Border Guard Service, the Finnish Forest and Park Service (Metsähallitus), Centres for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY-keskus), and the Finnish Customs have the right to control your licenses.
